6 Intimate Wedding Venues for under 60 guests
Small guest list, big setting. These venues are made for micro weddings in Italy.
Villa Poggio di Gaville | Tuscany
Villa Poggio di Gaville is an 18th-century, family-run agriturismo in the hills near Florence, and it feels more like staying at a very stylish friend’s house than hiring a venue. The owners have filled it with art and treasures collected from around the world, and there’s a pool, big countryside views and cooking classes built around local produce for guests who fancy getting stuck in. It’s relaxed, personal and made for weddings of up to 50.

Locanda La Raia | Piedmont
A 12-bedroom mansion in the Gavi Hills, surrounded by vineyards, pasture and woodland on a biodynamic farm. Weddings of up to 40 take place by the lake or among the vines, and guests can wander a sculpture trail with a glass of something cold in hand.
